It's all snow and ice at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, but that doesn't mean things aren't getting steamy.
American Jamie Anderson, who took home the gold medal in this year's slopestyle snowboarding event, told Us Weekly that the dating app Tinder "is next level" for athletes in the Olympic Village. In other words, the app is extra popular right now in Sochi.

Tinder is a dating app with a reputation for being a hook-up app that allows users to find each other and quickly meet. Users are connected to chat after they each approve the other's profile picture.
Anderson elaborated on Tinder's popularity in an interview with Us:
"Tinder!" Anderson told Us with a laugh about the dating app. "Tinder in the Olympic Village is next level. It's all athletes! In the mountain village it's all athletes. It's hilarious. There are some cuties on there."
Anderson eventually had to remind herself, however, to focus on the real prize and put her love life on hold. "There was a point where I had to be like OK, this is way too distracting," she said of using Tinder. "I deleted my account to focus on the Olympics."
The Olympic Village has long been identified as a place overflowing with sexual tension considering it brings together mostly young, fit, stressed out athletes from all over the world in one place. It's been reported in years past that as many as 150,000 condoms have been ordered for Olympians during the games.
In 2012, U.S. Olympic soccer player Hope Solo said, “I've seen people having sex right out in the open. On the grass, between buildings, people are getting down and dirty.” Solo wasn't the only one who noticed an excess of sex in Olympic village. Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, who's been known to say some strange things, predicted in an article from ESPN that 70 to 75% of Olympians in London were having sex.
It was just a matter of time before tech made it all even easier.
